dollywobbler Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I can sell a friend's XM in mere minutes. My own car? Hours and no bite. HOURS! Maybe I should flog my XM instead. I'm rather liking the whole two-pedal experience I must admit... I should also remind folk that it is a Cat C at some point. There. That should get it sold in no time.

dollywobbler Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have had precisely zero interest in this car, which is ludicrous! I'm off out in it in a bit and really looking forward to it. Even though I'm heading to a committee meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Lovely looking car and still looks surprisingly modern. I area t think what insurance would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 PRICE DROP. £545 anyone? Sensible offers welcome. While the 2CV fund is looking healthy, I'm being honourable and not touching that for other reasons. So, as I still need food, trailer wheels etc, I really do need the Prelude gone. Which is annoying, as I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Come on people, you're missing out. This really is a fantastic car to drive, probably one of the nicest handling cars I've ever driven and the gearbox really suits it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Had to use it to drive to South Wales and back today, because the XM wouldn't let me in (remote CL f*cked again, door locks frozen with ice). Does mean it's on nearly 91,000 miles now, still driving beautifully. Had some great fun on the B4343 from Lampeter to home. It really is a JOY to drive quickly. Also, I now entirely hate manual gearboxes. eddyramrod, Sloth in a bowl, skattrd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'd think about waiting a bit for a roffle, there appear to be a few active at present .. Rover 214, Celica, Rover 800, possibly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 AUCTION a la Shed-Ex?Feel free to copy/paste my T&C's. It's likely to stay cheap, so add a reserve if you want. It's way less admin than a ROFL and less desperate scrabbling to fill the numbers. Roffles are brill at one or two quid a ticket, the dearer ones struggle more. Consider this the 99p opening bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'd consider an auction but I'd need a reserve, and that might stop it working. KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Aye, the ZX only cost me £4.50 to buy, so I didn't have much folding invested in it and could afford let it go cheap to someone on here. The sharing economy, innit. skattrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'd consider an auction but I'd need a reserve, and that might stop it working. pm an agreed person your reserve and they can be the arbitrator if it comes to it, but at the end of the day you can choose to sell or not so run an auction and if the end price is acceptable to you it sells, if not it doesn't.

dollywobbler Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I think I'll consider a ROFFLE, but leave it a bit yet. As has been said, a few on the go at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
